Did Washington Enable Riyadh's Nuclear Ambitions
The article discusses the approach of the administration of U.S. President Donald Trump towards reaching a nuclear agreement with Saudi Arabia. This deal would permit Riyadh to develop uranium enrichment capabilities, opening the door to a nuclear proliferation race in the Middle East and beyond. Although Trump has stated that the agreement would prevent enrichment and uphold the highest safety standards, analyses indicate that it allows Saudi Arabia to resume enrichment activities and continue building nuclear capabilities. This raises concerns about escalating nuclear tensions and circumventing international controls, especially given Saudi Arabia's non-compliance with the additional protocol for visiting its nuclear facilities and the possibility of secret activities being hidden. Additionally, the agreement poses risks of negative impacts on regional security and is seen as a move that could boost ambitions of other countries and stimulate a nuclear arms race in the region.
